Syrian TV is preparing to produce five TV series. The new series are considered a continuity of the boom witnessed by Syrian drama during the month of Ramdan last year, according to the Syria Times.

Director Hani al-Romani has finished the fourth part of the film “al-Qeshani” (a public bathhouse) which records the modern history of Syria. The last part of the series deals with the socio-political changes that took place in Syria during the 1960’s.

The first two parts of the series documented the events that took place during the Ottoman and French occupations highlighting specifically the resistance put up by the Syrian people against their occupiers.

The second part also documented the military coups Syrian witnessed during the post independence period and the formation of different political parties.
